Emergence pattern and developmental status at emergence of Baltic salmon fry from the Umeälven hatchery stock (63°50′N, 20°25′E) were studied at 6, 10 and 12°C in the laboratory. The number of days and degree days from hatching to 50% emergence decreased exponentially with increasing temperature. Sy...
